After almost 2 years of working together, the pleasure of finding Daniela to teach is still present. I acquired a certain autonomy in continuous and dialogical oral expression. This is the goal I had set myself. So I'm still very satisfied.

Rina is a pleasure to work with. Her lessons go by quickly, because they are a lot of fun. She is always on time, sends the material beforehand, is always available for questions and corrects homework right away.
She is funny & energetic.
She speaks German and Italian.
I can only recommend taking lessons with her, because it is fun and you learn quickly and good.
